As some of you guys know, I changed the color of my interior plastic and stereo equipment to a dark ebony/graphite color to match my SS seats. My door sill plates and my kick panels are still the original light grey. Should I spray those to match the rest....or would that be to much of a color contrast with the carpet? I'll post pictures here in a few mintues. Thanks

 

..

 

out back...

 

here is the area I'm wondering about...

 

hey if you want i got a decent set of black door sill panels you could use. PM me and well talk more

 

Get chrome sills, just make sure no one steps on them!!!

 

They need to be black....

 

Spray em.

 

yeah spray em, either way its a hot lookin car

 

spray them

 

Look I photoshoped it so you can see. I would paint them.

 

yeah i'd do it. spray away.

 

that photoshop pic made me decide to spray'em tomorrow! Thanks man

BTW guys, this spray isn't just "Black" it's graphite/ebony...so if I started adding black parts...it wouldn't match

 

oh okay looks good

 

you should get black carpet, sail panels, headliner, and visors...would look better than light grey i think

 

oh yea, and spray the sills and kicks of course.

 

I would if I could...But I can't.....So...I won't


I had the all of that redone about 2 years ago, not knowing that I would eventually change the interior. Plus....that roll bar isn't coming out anytime soon unless I have to get it out for some major reason....that thing was the hardest thing I've installed on the car....

I really wish the 4th gen door panels would fit with the 3rd gen dash...but..I heard they don't match the 3rd gen dash at all

 

re-upholster the sail panel gray cloth to black leather.... that would look wicked.

 

any progress today?

 

well, I have class today...so..when I get back..I'll more then likely take the door sills and the kick panels out and spray them. Last night I sprayed my seats belts...and they look pretty good...they match much better

 

I picked up a can of it last night and I was very impressed with it untill I clearcoated it. But I will get more of it and do my stuff over again cause it looks great without the clear.

84custom where did you get flat clear? All I can find is gloss.

 

black looks really good

 

I know exaclty what you mean...if it's not flat...it looks kind of "cheap". I looked EVERYWHERE for flat clear..and had no luck. So..I went to the hobby section...where model car paints are kept...and Testors makes a "Dull Coat" clear. It's about 3 bucks for a small can...but so far....it's the only thing I've found..and it works great. I sprayed the rest of the plastic tonight..and I'll post pictures in a few

 

i'd like to see how it looks in person....

lookin good!

 

here is a picture of the door sills/kick panel area. I went ahead and sprayed the carpet too...and it actually layed very well too...I was pretty suprised. I can post a direct picture of the coating tomorrow for you guys.

And Kandied...your not that far away...come on down if you wanna check it out

Now...I need to be thinkin about door panels...

 

how is it to scratch resistance though? obviously its paint, but auto paint was very soft..

 

This is paint...but it's also a coating. It can be used on tool boxes....bed liners...stuff like that. It's very durable. I mean...if it's scratched hard enough, it will come off.....but..I won't be hauling anything. I've very happy with it...it goes on rough...and has a rough texture...it's not slick or anything at all. You could be a horrible painter and spray this coating. It applies easy with little effort.

 

looking good 84! i deff changed my mind about your gas pedal, i actually like it

IMO next thing you need to do is the door panels

 

Looks very good but I didn't see anything about what you painted them with.

What kind of paint was it?????

 

pic looks really good, congrats

 

1FastZ............

The paint is made buy duplicolor and it called textured mettalic graphite. It is available at Wal Mart for about six bucks a can.

 

So this dull flat does not make it look real dark with glitter it stays more like it looks with no clear? I may just end up not clearing mine and just keep a can handy for touch up if nessasary cause I absolutly love the way it refects the light and turns that shiny pencil lead color

 

exactly. Really, the dull coat makes it look more of like an actual material...than, instead of a spray

 

really! I cant wait to use the clear then. Do you have a pic of a cleared one verses a non cleared one?

 

sorry man, I don't have any

 

looks real good ima have to look into that spray gotta get rid of my red interior
